Postby john » 04 Feb 2009 18:28

I bought a set of nuts from the same guy and they work fine with my Allycats.

Now that really looks the Dogs! As they say. It really works well.

Where is the best place to bug these MGF wheels?

Cheers

no other than ebay although the breakers yard is also an option. beware to find a good set though repairs to the rim can cost £25 a wheel.

these were excellent except for the lose centre cap [:D] and i will need to replace the rear tyres in a 1000 miles but the front are hardly worn which is good as the cheapest tyre is around £60
